Message by the President
College of Pathologists of Sri Lanka, 2023
 

Dear Members of the College of Pathologists of Sri Lanka,


I would first like to thank you all for appointing me as the President of the College of Pathologists of Sri Lanka for the year 2023. I consider it an honour and a privilege to be elected to lead this prestigious institution once again. I am much grateful to the membership for the confidence placed in me.


While progressing in our collective mission of developing laboratory medicine in order to improve patient outcomes and enable more efficient use of healthcare resources, we face many challenges. The rapidly expanding healthcare landscape demands expansion of testing, advances in technology and opportunity for more personalized medical care while ensuring the quality.

Unfortunately, the healthcare system in Sri Lanka is facing one of its biggest and unexpected challenges currently, due to the ongoing economic crisis. As a result, our laboratory service is experiencing the biggest downfall of human resources. Restricted infrastructure facilities also hamper improvement in the quality of the laboratory service in Sri Lanka. Based on proven models in other countries, I believe that the consolidation of resources should be done to achieve the best possible quality and cost-effectiveness in laboratory service.


I believe that the expertise of the pathologists as well as their experience in laboratory systems that they were exposed to during the overseas training should be utilized to find a way out. We should strive hard to develop innovative solutions that improve access to care, reduce costs, and promote health equity.

I hope that I will be able to set the foundation for the concept I introduced in my Presidential Address in 2016, titled, "Futuristic view for quality and cost-effective Histopathology service for Sri Lanka". ( Journal of Diagnostic Pathology, year 2017 Volume: 12 issue 1)


I wish all the very best for the Laboratory Service of Sri Lanka and the College of Pathologists of Sri Lanka


Dr. Sriyani Nanayakkara
President College of Pathologists 2023
